CAFT Series : Features and Benefits

 
 
   
Traditional "pingers"
Allow the flexibility of integrating with other acoustic systems.

The latest in crystal stabilized microprocessor based coded tags
Allows unique digital coding scheme. Allows more stable timing of transmit-bursts (the burst rate of non-crystal controlled, i.e., non-microprocessor based, tags tends to vary significantly with variations in ambient temperature).

Digital coding scheme
A single tag allows both the manual tracking and automatic datalogging of animals. Allows the tracking of over one hundred individuals on a single frequency. Allows the transmission of sensor data as well as unique ID.

Flexible transmit-burst repetition rate
Allows you to dictate desired rate. Allows the extension of tag longevity (by slowing it down). Increases the ease of manual tracking (by speeding it up).

No customer assembly required (CAFT 8_1 excepted)
Magnetic switch permits easy on/off activation.

High reliability
Allows you to maximize confidence in study results.

Standard or enhanced longevity
Shorter codes allow you to extend operation longevity.

Variable sizes
Allows you to match the telemetry capability with the biology of the species of interest. Allows you to increase longevity when size is less of an issue.

Oral or surgical internal implantation or external mounting
Allows you to match the telemetry capability with the biology of the species of interest.

All tags are encased in a biologically inert material
Protects the electronics, ensures long life and minimizes negative impacts on the tagged individual .

System compatibility
Works with the most sophisticated and widely used biotelemetry receiver available today, Lotek's SRX 400. Works with Lotek's wireless hydrophone system.
